Ingredients

• 2 cups Water
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 ounces Bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped, around 70% cocoa)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture continuously until it comes to a simmer and the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the finely chopped bittersweet chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature. Then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 6

Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.

Step 7

After churning, transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for 2-4 hours to allow the sorbet to firm up.

Step 8

When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then scoop and enjoy!
